Founded in 1889 by Joseph Bourdeau & Daniel Hatton, The Boating Club of Ste-Rose was the most renowned nautical club in the region. Located next to the Plessis-Bélair Bridge, near the Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, the club was mostly composed of English-speaking Montreal vacationers. The club organized regattas and social evenings as well as balls in the "Club House". 125 years later, with the initiative of a Bourdeau (as in 1889) and his group of friends, The Boating Club comes back to life! In this great project we find, among others, the group of co-owners of the Philemon Bar in Old Montreal. Zébulon Perron, the designer behind enormous success such as, Grinder, La Buvette à Simone, Furco. Francis Lorrain from Boucherie Lorrain in Rosemère and Gary Sousa our captain.
Overall, patrons consistently praise Le Boating Club for excellent food and attentive service in a warm, lively setting that works for dates, celebrations, and casual evenings with friends. Dishes are frequently described as creative and generously portioned, with favorites including oysters, braised beef, gnocchi, seafood pastas, and standout desserts, while cocktails and wine are noted as well balanced. The ambiance combines chic and cozy with an open kitchen and flexible spaces, including a private room for events and a heated terrace that suits a festive mood. Some recurring caveats include noise and bustle on Fridays and Saturdays due to DJs and crowds, occasional delays during peak times, and occasional miscommunications about menus or dietary needs. Parking is mainly valet or street nearby. The staff are repeatedly credited with warmth, friendliness, and professionalism, helping create memorable experiences and often going the extra mile for celebrations. Taken together, Le Boating Club is viewed as a standout option in the area for quality food, strong service, and a vibrant atmosphere, with the caveat that it can be loud and busy at peak times.
Great experience! Our waitress was very attentive & very professional & friendly. Food was also delicious. Would definitely recommend for parties or get togethers.
Tous les invités ont passé une très belle soirée. Vous avez une très bonne équipe, allant de la réservation, aux attentions spéciales, le service toujours rapide & très courtois. Merci! Le petit bémol pour la salle privée qui rend la musique & conversations un tantinet cacophoniques. Tout le monde a grandement apprécié la qualité des plats servis du menu de groupe. Félicitations pour vos gnocchis & proscuitto; des incontournables! Merci pour tout & à bientôt!
Bon resto, bonne ambiance, excellent service, cocktails & nourriture super ! Après 9pm ça devient assez bruyant, quasi un club pour ceux qui recherchent cette ambiance là.
Nous avions réservé la salle au sous-sol pour 20 personnes. Notre serveuse était Léanne & bien que c'était sa première soirée en solo son service était impeccable. Dans la salle il y a 2 micros & un écran qui nous ont permis d'avoir un fun fou à chanter des vieux hits. Nous avions choisis le menu à 50$ & tous les invités se sont régalés. Je recommande ce restaurant & cette formule salle de réception à tous.
Dispendieux pour le genre de nourriture servie. Aucune recherches de goûts dans les plats.
La présentation est médiocre. À mon avis ce n'est pas un chef qui prépare la nourriture. Plutôt
un cuisinier avec un cours cuisine 101.
